Required documents, the SoA, 2022 control structure, implementation timeline, common gaps for Indian implementations.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the international standard for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). For Indian organisations selling globally, it is often the first formal certification pursued — recognized in nearly every market, scoped flexibly, and well-understood. This module covers what ISO 27001:2022 actually requires, the implementation timeline, and the operational realities of getting and keeping certified.
What ISO 27001 actually is
- An ISMS standard — an system for managing security, not a checklist of controls
- Process-oriented: requires risk assessment, treatment plans, continuous improvement
- Annex A includes 93 reference controls (down from 114 in the 2013 version) you may select from
- Certifiable by accredited bodies (BSI, DNV, TUV, BSI India, etc.)
- 3-year cycle: initial certification audit, surveillance audits years 2 and 3, recertification at year 4
